Army Crawl Master

Just Taking a break

So Tanner learned to crawl in September, just a few days before his 7 month birthday.  To this day (Oct 20th), he is still army crawling.  He can crawl on his hands and knees, but he doesn’t want to.  I guess he likes to just army crawl instead. 

But as I was changing his clothes, I noticed little rashes on his arms, legs and chin.  I couldn’t figure out where he would’ve gotten this from?  Until it dawned on me that he was getting carpet burns as he crawled.  He would dive his face into the carpet and pull with his forearms, and push with his legs.  So, I had to cover his whole body with baby leg warmers to protect his skin.  That’s why he looks like he’s going to dance class in these pictures...I had to cover his body with something and still keep him cool in the hot weather.  My husband thinks Tanner looks silly in the leg warmers...but oh well.

Wish I had a video of this.  It's really cute to see him stick his little butt up in the air.

When he sees something he wants.  He sure goes after it.

Awwww.  It's mommy!  That's what he wanted!
